[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stigmato:
I have two, one is mine and one is my wife's. I bought them both on release and hers has been quite the headache. It's already been replaced once for issues with unreasonable amounts of lag compared to mine. Mine has been mostly fine, with the same pain points like Camera/Chrome as her but not as bad. I'm not quite as demanding of the phone as she is. I recently wiped mine and went to an AOSP rom with the ElementalX kernel and haven't experienced any of the same lag doing the same exact same tasks. I may wipe hers first and try the same set up before exchanging it again. I'm leaning heavily towards Google just did not optimize the stock kernel for the 808 chip at all. I really feel like they booted up the first build and went "OK it works, let's ship it" without doing any real testing and optimizing like other manufacturers seem to have done (LG G4, Moto X Pure, basically any other 808 phone).
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Travisdroidx2:
My phone has never had lag. Smooth as butter.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
It's there for some and that's probably not going to change. Here's one popular android blog (Android Central) that recently wrote a "3 months w/ the 5X" article. Multiple editors provided their thoughts.

It is hit or miss for me. This is my first Nexus so I don't notice lag often but it is there even though I am decrypted and running a custom rom/kernel. My experience has been mostly positive, I love using the 5X. If I were coming from a previous Nexus, I probably would notice the difference in performance right away however my last device was a dual core S3.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Nope, stock device here (no root) with zero lag. Snappy performance and the camera is always quick. I only reboot about once per month for the monthly security OTA.

Besides, most CPU governors are tweaked to increase battery life by decreasing clock speeds. Not to increase performance.

I got mine on release day and my device does not lag. The majority of devices do not we're just 10x more likely to hear from those with issues then those without. There has been no hardware revision or change in the 5x, just software updates.

My last device was the Nexus 5. The 5x is just as snappy and the graphics performance is far ahead. My device is stock and not rooted BTW. Based on user experiences I've been reading, those with issues are in the minority and experiencing 3rd party software issues. Many have reported success by doing a factory reset without restoring data from another device.

BTW that article is a joke IMO. The only person who mentions how often their performance issues occur mentioned "about once per week" and the rest don't even say.

Obviously some people are having problems with device performance, but I don't believe it's inherent to the device as most are not experiencing such issues and problems only seem to arise once certain types or amounts of background services are running.

My theory: 2GB of RAM on 64 bit OS fills up quicker than 2gb running 32bit. Users are overloading their RAM with background services (possibly aided by a memory leak ala Android 5). It's no secret that many 3rd party background services have really bad memory management.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogerchew:
Yes lag is there. Fresh reset camera everything runs great. Give it a few days (3-4 for me) and you can stop using your camera. Pictures will take 5 seconds to process. I'm not exaggerating. No software fix in sight, and not a peep from Google about this being an issue or a fix in the works. Feel pretty jipped being a pre-order customer.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosser2:
I can second this totally. Pre-ordered the device and seeing lag especially when using the camera...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leojani:
not really

It totally depends on how you use it. Overall it's a nice phone
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I run custom everything and I prefer it. OOTB, left some things to be desired even though my overall Nexus experience has been great. I agree, we'll always here complaints over positive experiences.

Your theory on ram makes sense from a general level of understanding. For me, ram management on here is awful. A few apps, Maps for instance, reload all too quickly.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlatnyc:
I can also second this, I'm looking for custom ROM that will make phone usable again. At this point, I resent returning the N6.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Short answer, yes it lags and pretty bad. I have to power cycle daily to make it usable. I also thought most reviewers were making unrealistic expectations and we're nitpicking but apparently they weren't
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawat:
Yes, especially with thermal throttling such as when using navigation, taking videos, or multiple photos in succession.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoppp:
Mine is horrible. Lag when opening the camera, lag when browsing chrome. My phone is encrypted and I have android wear. Honestly the only thing good about this phone versues my nexus 5 is the fingerprint scanner and the front facing speaker and way better battery life. Other than that I am not liking this phone at all.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KJSav123:
I've not been on XDA for quite some time but came on today looming for answers to lag on my 5x.

Totally stock, gets above average use I'd guess, and it starts to lag several times a week.

I I stalled an app called Fast Reboot which seems to help without having to go through the pain of a full power off - but after a couple of weeks that makes little difference now.

Full reboot restores speed, but using the camera a coue of times instantly returns the lag - can take 30 sec+ for camera app to take a photo or close. However the lag starts after a day or two even if I don't use camera at all.

Maybe try a replacement from Google seeing as it seems hit and miss rather than a clear manufacturing/ ROM issue across them all.
[Verizon LG G4] killa408shark:
I'm about to give this a try but flashfire just got updated a few days ago and I noticed that there's a new option after selecting "flash zip" I know I got leave "auto mount" unchecked but does anyone knows of I should leave "Mount/System R/W" checked or unchecked? Thanks
[Verizon LG G4] eugene373:
after thinking about this, I would uncheck as we're writing a raw image file, we would check this if we're flashing a .zip that has a few app. however it's all due to the updater-script, so you would need to look at it.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Madhadder:
Are there any step for step instructions, either on a web site or in a downloadable PDF that detail how one can cook their own athena ROMs?

Such a thing would be a big help to all those that would like to try cooking their own ROMS..

I have found some instructions but they are old and are for other devices mostly running WM2003se or WM5. It would be goo to have an updated one for WM6 and the Athena.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] toyfreak:
How about over in the Hermes forum? (Not trying to me a smart@$$..)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Midget_1990:

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Madhadder:
ATHENA.. Not HERMES, guys.. while there maybe many simularities between the devices when cooking ROMS, some important steps are not correct for the Athena, thus the guides need to be updated.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Midget_1990:
basically the differences are:

dont use nbsplit at all and use the '-nosplit' option on all imgfs programs
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eagle 1:
thanks Midget_1990..That works great..

I knew you would know the answer!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pawel062:
guys the trinity tools dont work on athena. the tools we use for wizard and uni do. now to those that do wanna cook get ready for late nights and lots of anger. the athena's rom is partioned so the os.nb is a fixed size. if u dont overload it the rom will boot and everything will be ok. if u do then the rom wont work and ur device will not turn on. with the athena adding stuff is hit or miss. some stuff wont go in bc theres a real big file. it aint easy i can tell u that but if u want to try it go ahead.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akulp:
Is there any mod/app to set different vibration power for:

- keypress (I know I can set vibration duration, but that's not the same)

- touch vibration

- phone/notifications vibrations?

I'm using EX Kernel. There you can control powr of vibration, but just overall power.

Thanks.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godfather17:
I'm looking for a way to adjust the vibration Intensity too. When I have my phone on vibrate at work and someone calls it is way too strong. People keep look around every time. Also the the heptic feedback is too strong. I hope some an find a way without root would be preferable.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
Flashing a kernel doesn't require root.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godfather17:
That's good. Will I be able to receive and install OTA updates when they are available? I tried looking for the answer to this question but did not find a clear enough answer. Also, if yes then will I lose the ES kernel when i update via OTA update? Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
Root is not required... an unlocked bootloader is though. That requires a device wipe which is probably not what you want to do right now. Sorry to get your hopes up.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godfather17:
Thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it. Just so I know for the future when I get sometime from work, will I be able to install Ota updates automatically after unlocking the bootloader and installing a kernel such as EX kernel? If yes, will the bootloader and EX kernel remain or will they be lost each time after an OTA update?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
You will have to reflash the stock boot.img before you can take an OTA.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godfather17:
The high vibration is driving me nuts so I am going to have to install the EX kernel to decrease it. I just want to know if when a new update comes out will I lose all my date if I update via fastboot? By that I mean, I will flash to boot.img, bootloader, radio and system.img. If I will lose my date, is there a way to update without losing my date? If I have to reinstall EX kernel then I do not mind as long as I can keep my date. Thank you once again.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
There are several ways to update and not lose your data. You can simply reflash the stock recovery, kernel, and system (if you modify it somehow) images and wait for the OTA. Or the quickest way to get the update would be to flash the updated factory images when they are posted at the beginning of the month. When flashing the images you can do them one-by-one skipping the userdata part or modify the flash-all script to exclude wiping of the userdata partition. If you come back after the update drops there will likely be a thread that details the process.

Since you will be unlocking the bootloader and flashing the custom kernel you might as well root to make adjusting the vibration easier. Use systemless root so you dont have to flash as many system images to take the OTA.

I suggest you read through the thread below a few times so you know how to do things. There are some things you need to avoid so you dont brick your phone. The most common one is relocking the bootloader when your phone is not completely stock. Some people have mistakenly done that because when you unlock you get this nasty warning when you bootup. There is a way to remove the warning by replacing the images. Look for the material boot images in the themes section of this board.

i have to say i have no idea xD. i recently droped my lg g3 in a bucket of water. got it out stripped it, and hopefully it be okay xD. but if not i been looking at a wileyfox :)

aaanyway, reverting back! (im guessing here) you have your self twrp? or something installed on the device in order to flash gapps. i cant say as i dont have a phone if TWRP is something installable on the phone. but i would have suggested making a backup before you flashed p: AAAAANNNYWAY!

i would suggest doing a factory reset, swipe to wipe :), and then flashing Cos 12 and its respected files to go back.

I installed the VS985 46A - Stock Flashable Firmware from xdabbeb. Read some posts that RRO layers was working on this.Also found articles

that Google did include framework support for RRO.I just wanted to post what I found with it. I apologize if this isn't the right place to post.

Phone is Verizon VS985 LG G3. Installed Layers Manager from Play Store and just picked a free theme to try.I was excited to see that Gmail could be themed! I was only trying dark themes.

Hey,

I'm new to XDA as user but have been lurking around for a while now.

Anyhow, I'm wondering if there is any way to get a notification pull down button on my navbar (on screen buttons). I'm not talking about a gesture shortcut or anything, just a 4th button.

I've tried the newest resurrect remix ROM which just received an update which included a notification button only the ROM isn't a daily driver. There are just to many bugs.

I'm open for suggestions and hope it's done with a simple xposed module but I've searched long enough to doubt it.

There are screens as attachments from the resurrect ROM to give a preview.

Could anyone link to or send me these two files? I did some googling and I found them for older versions of Android but not for the stock lollipop rom for my phone. Flashing my phone with a new ROM isn't an option right now. I was trying to delete the stock calendar app so that Google Calendar would stop asking me to choose between the two when I create a new event with voice commands but accidentally deleted the Calendar storage Apk also. Next time I promise I will make a backup with titanium backup first! I already tried using the files from an older version and also from a sprint s5 but neither of these worked.
